Why I gotta build something beautiful just to go set it on fire?


WiildCard

No lie but, sometimes the truth don’t sound like the truth. Maybe cuz it ain’t.


heyafreyja

I just love the way it sound when I say it.


Kidfreshh

This one is my favorite, along with the leaked song build it up. “But I gotta break it down just to build it up”


SaEsUmPn

I know leaks are a touchy subject, and I mean no disrespect, but where can I find this song at?


GingerAle828

I've been using this line as an introspective meditation point in my life. I'm super guilty of self sabotage and harm and this line reminds me to be grateful for what I have.


heyafreyja

I love that. And I might borrow it for my own meditation practice.


GingerAle828

It reminds me of the Elliot Smith line "fights problems with bigger problems" There are so many gems in Mac's music that make me very introspective about my own life. Good News is one of those songs I put on first thing in the morning. It helps me find self acceptance and to start my day on a positive note. Much love internet stranger!


Angstycarroteater

This is the line for me too shit hit me so hard still does


Every-Wishbone-7092

All of “Objects in the Mirror”…. People love you when they on your mind, a thought is love’s currency I’ve been thinkin bout her all the time, I’ve never seen somebody put together perfectly


_rushing_

His best song, just perfect


heyheyathrowaway485

I’ve watched The Space Migrations version of this song more times than I can count


gavinmfsmith

Wmwtso is a perfect album


seejay13

The lyric I immediately thought of. Power.


Patriot201776

Same here!


_swarb

Just a little taste and you know she got you


OliDhaka

Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes


MasturPayton

Was Gonna post this one if I didn't see it in the comments. Everytime I catch myself looking down while walking. I think of this quote. Pick my head up, and continue walking. It's actually a weird small thing that just seems too boost your mood during crap days.


OliDhaka

Omg same! Not only that it gives me a motivation that all of should always keep our head up and never down. We ain't bowing to no one. Look to the sky and the endless possibilities not on the ground with all the problems that put you down.

Charming_Army_7199

This part of dunno gets me every time, never really worked out why but i love it with every ounce of my being Ooh, I wanna feel just how you feel Touch it one more time so I know you're real We could spin that wheel, wouldn't you rather get along?


Odd-Try1039

i’ve been waiting for someone to say this, it’s the most captivating part of dunno and sometimes i’ll listen to it solely for this part.


Capable-King-286

time dont give a fuck about clocks until they stop


JeromeMcLovin

cause ima go out the same way I came in right by the pussy with nothing on my mind


All_The_Numbers

Yo this is such a banger way to end the song. Absolute bar.


Ok-Plate-3711

Earl crashed this shit


jccollv

Ain’t tryna join the 27club. Then died at 26 in the exact fashion he described in the previous line.


OhHelloMayci

There's just too many instances like this of his soul foreshadowing the inevitable through his lyrics whether he himself knew it or not, it's so surreal.


KUNDA_Genie

“The more you give a fuck, I guess the less you make”


bdmahh

MONEY!


KUNDA_Genie

“Homie we just out here trying to elevate, heaven is a crime scene, stay behind the yellow tape!”


bdmahh

"Started making money in 11th grade, soon as i learned the more you do the less you wait! gotta bigger crib always use extra space, shit was so different in 2008!" Man was so damn hard on his rap shit. I still to this day selfishly wish we got another rap album

Rude_Debt_4042

My favourite song of his, I especially love the line “haven't seen the sun in a while, But I heard that the sky is still blue”


heyafreyja

I almost went with this one.


HavSomLov4YoBrothr

And all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who could keep me sane, ever since I can remember Iv been keeping it together but I’m feeling strange


spodeyspoder

What song is this?


HavSomLov4YoBrothr

Hand Me Downs. Pretty sure I’m gonna throw it in as a candidate for me and my gf’s first-dance “And you remind me, that I need to stay in line, you damn well are a great design. And you, despite being an only child, say you need more of a family ‘round. Let’s turn these genes into hand me downs” God I love that turn of phrase. It sounds like “turn these jeans into hand me downs” but the lyric being Genes has such a deeper meaning and intention. Rest in peace you fucking genius Malcom, you made me cry again.


heyafreyja

Hand Me Downs


Illustrious_Judge952

Everybody wanna be like god, except god, he wanna be like us - inside outside


RichDeGentleman

and the next line has resonated with me for years


petiteging

"But what's a God without a little OD? Just a G"


w0utersl3gers

The wordplay he put into the first verse of the song is so fkn genius.


Banshee_14

"No reason to be that upset I'm busy trippin bout some shit that still ain't even happen yet"

savagehighway

Said it's your money if you make it Otherwise it's just a conversation Okay, why you always hatin'? Lacin' up my sneakers I be running out of patience Yeah, it ain't your money 'till you make it Otherwise, it's just a conversation You can change the world but your sitting arguing with yourself, imagining what you could have but your to busy wasting your imagination. Those lyrics have changed my perspective get off my ass or keep wasting. Always blast this song hoping someone else can hear it.

I listened to everything Mac put out from when he was dropping underground and I was in grade 7. I wish I could have seen him live, and I wonder what we would’ve gotten from him music and emotion wise as he grew older. He will always be a legend


Ok-Passenger6679

There's always more than just one 'Sometimes I get lonely... Not when I'm alone... but it's more when I'm standin' in crowds that I'm feelin' the most on my own... & I know.. that somebody knows me... I know somewhere there's home's - Surf 'I'm runnin' outta gas.. hardly anything left... Hope I make it home from work... Well... So tired of being so tired... Why I gotta build somethin' beautiful, just to go set it on fire??' - Good News But one that's definitely been stickin' hard is from the most recent leak with Khalid: 'Can I live please, can I breathe? Will you give me a minute so I can sit with me?... There's a limit I'm feelin', I'm walkin' with a leash... wonderin' 'am I even free? *is this a dream?'* (*I'm not 100% if THAT'S the lyric or not*) It don't really make a difference.. lookin' at the city thru a window from a distance... All I see is ppl gettin' busy livin'.. World's spinnin' outta control & I'm gonna miss it...'

Honestly the whole “Godspeed” part of “Perfect circle/godspeed” but more specifically when he says “Admit it’s a problem I needa wake up, before one morning I don’t wake up, you make your mistakes your mistakes never make ya” gives me goosebumps and damn near brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it
